Why Fall Could Be the Sweet Spot for Buyers and Sellers

As the leaves start to turn, so does the real estate market. Fall often gets overlooked between the buzz of spring and the rush of summer, but this season might just be the perfect time to make your move.

More Homes to Choose From

This fall, inventory has been on the rise - right now there's more homes on the market than there has been in a decade! That means more options for buyers who might have struggled with slim pickings earlier in recent years. Whether you’re looking for your first condo in the West End, a family home on Bowen Island, or a downsized space that fits your next chapter, you’ve got a good selection of homes to choose from.

Interest Rates Are Working in Your Favour

On top of increased supply, interest rates have dipped, easing the pressure for buyers. Lower borrowing costs can mean more affordability and greater purchasing power, this is a unique opportunity that doesn’t always line up with expanded inventory.

Sellers: Don’t Count Fall Out

While it’s true that spring often gets the spotlight, fall buyers are serious buyers. They’re motivated, focused, and often looking to move before the holiday season. With rates low and more activity in the market, sellers have a real opportunity to attract qualified buyers and negotiate with confidence.

The Bottom Line

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to make your move, fall might just be it. More choice. Lower rates. Motivated buyers and sellers. The pieces are lining up in a way we don’t always see.
